Junior school care for continence problems
Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2017 12:05 am
My daughter is 10 years old and has encopresis. She is being treated privately by a specialist, but I am struggling with constantly being called to her school to clear up her accidents. Some are too bad to manage on her own as she has overflow accidents. I appreciate that my daughter would rather it be me than a member of staff, because of her age, but doesn't the school have a duty of care to deal with this during school hours? At present, I go to school as and when called, but I have chronic fatigue syndrome and am finding it difficult managing both our conditions at all times. Also does she need to be registered disabled for the staff to help her? Or is it all just up to me?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
